Human SHD

[Jartik]

I'm a bit new to EQ but I'm really liking it so far. I just started playing a human shadowknight for the exp buff but am wondering if the low amount of str and sta will make me gimp as I become higher level? Any suggestions? I'm only level 9 so its definitely not too high for a re-roll, is there a better race for this class? Thanks and I'm enjoying this server a great deal.

Humans have really nicely balanced stats. Usually later on ogres and trolls max their strength and STA, but lack a little more in agility and dexterity.

Depends what your looking for also. If you want balanced stats, go human

Apparently stats matter more in WR than they did in Live. If this were Live (and that's how I treat it for now), I'd say it doesn't much matter. Put your points into stamina and just go with the flow. I'd rather be a human, just because that's who I like playing.

Most raid pieces have high stat bonuses to them, so chances are you'll be maxxed out with buffs anyway. In the end, just play what you want, and if you're concerned about the small variances, than play another race.

High end SKs tend to max out their STR/STA and lack in the AGI department (dex doesn't matter terribly much for them) later on, so I suggest dumping everything you can into agility. It makes a world of difference for tanking, trust me.
